Hometown Hero, Freese sends St. Louis to game 7

With 2 outs and 2 strikes in the bottom of the 9th on the Cardinals' David Freese, the Rangers were ready for their Champagne Showers, til Freese pushed a line drive over Nelson Cruz in RF. Two runs scored and the game went to extra innings. The Rangers' Josh Hamilton crushed a two-run homer as Texas went up by two once again in the 10th but the never-say die Cardinals tied the game with 2 outs and 2 strikes as Lance Berkman pushed an RBI single to CF. In the bottom of the 11th, Freese hammered a walk-off shot, capping off a moment that will be frozen in baseball history.

Jaguars squeak past the Ravens on MNF, 12-7

Blaine Gabbert picked up his first win against the Baltimore Ravens on MNF in Jacksonville. The rookie did just enough, going 9-20 with 93 yards to lead the Jaguars to 4 FG and a hard fought win on primetime TV. Maurice Jones-Drew carried the ball 30 times for 105 yards as both teams ran constantly but ineffectively. The Jags are now 2-5 in a weak AFC South but the Ravens lose first place in the AFC North to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Anything Ya'll can do, Pujols can do better

Albert Pujols entered game 3 of the World Series hitless. Tonight he emerged from a 16-7 rout of Texas as a legend. Pujols hit 3 home runs in the game, becoming only the third player to ever do so in the Fall Classic (Babe Ruth and Reggie Jackson were the others). The Red Birds scored multiple runs in 4 consecutive innings to rout the Rangers who also had a great offensive night. St. louse leads the series 2-1 and will look to take a commanding 3-1 lead tomorrow night in Arlington.

Oklahoma takes a tumble in Norman, lose to Texas Tech 41-38

Oklahoma looked primed for a bid in the BCS national championship after #4 Wisconsin lost at #15 Michigan State, but the #3 Sooners soon found themselves in a 31-7 hole against Seth Doege's Red Raiders. Bob Stoops and Landry Jones did everything they could to extend their 39-home game win-streak, but Texas Tech's potent passing attack would deny them any dreams of New Orleans. The Sooners stormed back to pull within a field goal, but the clock winded down on the hopes of an undefeated season with a bid in the National Championship game. Tostitos are still good though.

Cats beat up the Bruins 48-12, snap losing streak

Victory is a sweet feeling... Especially when you haven't beaten an FBS opponent in 355 years. That is what the Arizona Wildcats experienced Thursday night on ESPN against the Ucla Bruins, the team's first victory since their win against Ucla last year in the Rose Bowl. The victory marked the first under interim head coach Tim Kish. By halftime, the Cats had stormed out to a commanding 42-7 with help from 3 TDs from Foles to Criner, but a fan dressed as a referee ran onto the field and started streaking. During the confusion, the Cats and Bruins got into a sideline clearing brawl which resulted in 10 player suspensions. The game was very odd in the sense that the Cats dominated on both sides of the ball which hasn't been often this season. Arizona can't afford any more slip ups this season if they want to play in a bowl.
